Hey guys!! Sorry I've been awol, it's a mixture of not staying on plan and been busy :-/ Feel bad coming on when I have been naughty!! But suddenly feeling very determined to get back on this. I've found a meeting close to where I live on a sat morning which is perfect for me! Going with a friend too so hopefully it will help me stick to it. One of my friends has lost 4 stone in the past year and she looks amazing and is so much happier and more confident, and she's given me the boost I need It;s my friends hen do two weeks today so I want to have lost a few pounds by then... It's a big fat gypsy wedding themed hen do :-D So I've bought a skimpy pink dress (hideous) and going to customise it with diamontes etc lol. Having cocktail lessons and a posh meal at her house so should be an ace day! Then it's her wedding a month from now so if I can lose half a stone by then and get into my dress I'll be well happy.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend! I'm off round to my friends tonight for drinks and cupcake making she's going to teach me as she's fab!! Will start pointing tomorrow xxxxxxx

Me too Nic

Well yesterday I was bored and started looking at the 'my fitness pal' app I downloaded a while ago. I'd only had a quick look at it before and wasn't a massive fan. But I ended up having a bit of a play with it yesterday.... and basically I've decided to give it a shot :-D instead of discover. My friend swears by it! According to the app with me being tall, heavy and on my feet a lot my body needs 2400 calories a day just to maintain :-O so to lose 1lb a week it says I need 1900 calories.. that's loads and is more than what I eat on discover! I have decided to set it at losing 1.5lb a week as I have Saturday as treat night so hoping it will balance out at losing 1lb a week. I can have 1,650 calories a day. I can honestly say today I have eaten more than on my 25 point a day on discover.. feels more like 28! I feel full up! I know it's really not that much different from ww but I just love the app and feel like I'm eating more! I also love how easy it is to workout how many calories you have burnt through exercise then eat them aerobics for 20 mins would be 180 cals burnt for me. Anyhoo I'm going to give it a go... I actually feel so motivated right now and hope I will still have good losses. Will still be posting here of course too :-D

Yes u musnt leave us hehe, even when we r all skinny minnies!

I had a dabble at this app alongside my WW not long ago, its a really good app and easy to use! Stopped using it as i dont think calories is for me at the min because i'm point mad but from what i saw of it it was great Good luck hun xxx

 

[Maybride2011]

Glad your still sticking around I too have the app and from time to time work out my calories on there and it's always seems I can have loads of points. Although at first I forgot to point my drinks so went so over by loads but when I got to grips with it wasn't too bad will be interesting to see how u get on and of it makes a difference good luck with it xx

 

[Angelxx2010]

Thanks so much Nic and Maybride it's going well, but must admit I've been so hungry this week! Think I may be coming down with something though. I know what you mean, it's hard to switch off from points lol, keep forgetting to track salad and veg now too and drinks lol. But lost 2lb this week yay, not bad in 4 days xxxxxxx

 

[Nicola87]

Wll done hunni thats brill...do u have many calories left at the end of the day? Maybe try more healthy snacks in the day to fill u up xxx

 

[mrhappy1985]

I have hit a slump. Just told myself that I am destined to be fat no matter what I do. Lol. Just been eating fruit and porridge throughout the day and then an evening meal for the last week. Managed to lose a pound and a half despite being over in Manchester for a wedding last weekend. Wasn't too bad but the loss is happening too slowly for my liking.

 

[Angelxx2010]

Thanks Nic I often have eaten all my calories by end of day, yes think I need to have more fruit in the afternoon once the kids have gone home! And aldo have cereal everyday, fills me up

Ah no Mr. Happy, makesure you eat all your points everyday! I'm sure you'll reach your goal. How much more do you want to lose? Slow and steady wins the race. Well done for 1lb and half, you'll get there.

 

[Maybride2011]

Well done on the loss Hun

 

[Angelxx2010]

Having a nice weekend! Had a treat last night of king prawn with mushrooms and spicy chips and a few glasses of wine. Was lovely and could have been naughtier ;-) lol!

[Nicola87]
